- 46 views
http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/20ea4ab2627e5d3c086e0c926ed4a813.jpgThe second episode of the new Game of Thrones season aired Sunday night on HBO, keeping fans of the series on the edges of their seats on the matter of Jon Snow. Will their favorite hero come back from the dead, just as everyone expects, considering all the leaks and circumstantial evidence? Or will the show’s creators keep us waiting for yet another week before we finally find out what is to become of Snow? If you haven’t seen Home yet, then avoid what follows because there are major spoilers. (more…)http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/3a795a9bb621da49400fcc3e8884a6eb._.gif Via…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c0f84e5ee761d7f5205a84a53b9ff22e.jpgWhen Google redesigned the Android interface using its new "Material Design" guidelines, users were ecstatic. It's not that Android's old design was particularly bad, but the new and improved look of Android was sleek and modern. In fact, Material Design arguably made Android the best-looking mobile platform in the world. After Android got its big makeover, other Google sites and services began to enjoy redesigns using the same Material look and feel. But after all this time, one of Google's most popular sites — YouTube — has yet to get its Material makeover... until now. Google is testing a f…

If you’ve seen episode 2 on Sunday night, then you’re probably looking forward to seeing what comes next, and the first official trailer for next week’s installment of Game of Thrones has now been released. The trailer might be just 35 seconds long, but it has some potential spoilers so tread lightly if you haven’t seen episode 2 yet.

Could Amazon’s Fire tablets get any cheaper?

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/739f3b0ab20d81b9f494361426e60b63.jpg Amazon’s tablets are cheap. We all know that. The company cuts corners with hardware and just pushes its online store in a locked ecosystem. Rather than making a profit on hardware sales, Amazon relies on whatever apps, games, movies, television shows, and magazines you buy frequently. It’s just that sometimes the experience suffers, but customers have proven to the world that cheap tablets attached to Amazon’s ecosystem are here to stay. For a limited time, the company’s cheap tablets are even cheaper. http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/29438ac4ffac7768f164e0a8c95ca617.jp…

Just about every aspect follows right in line with Google’s Material Design UI found across platforms and services.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/d38e20708474302504d07927a97f941e.jpgThe Apple Watch may admittedly feel a big sluggish at times, but the device's internals - 520 MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage - are more impressive than what many old PCs were running back in the early to mid 90s. That being the case, developer Nick Lee recently took it upon himself to see if he could get Microsoft's seminal Windows release - Windows 95 - up and running on the Apple Watch.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9b2a51da583b0124db51ab9a1c448b75.jpgThere are a few ways you can go about catching up on significant moments in world and human history. You can attend lectures or perhaps read a few history books. Or, you can temporarily toss those old school learning methods aside and instead enjoy an impressively well put together interactive history timeline. Sure, you may have seen interactive history timelines before, but we've yet to see one as exhaustive or engaging as the one put together by Histography.io. Their cleverly crafted and intuitive timeline spans 14 billion years of history, with the website boasting that every entry "is a h…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/78184fffaed0f56a1365becbf30e3db8.pngDuring Tesla's Model 3 unveiling this past March, Elon Musk confidently boasted, "At Tesla, we don't make slow cars." And true to form, Tesla over the past few years has demonstrated a near obsession with speed. First, Tesla introduced Insane Mode, a feature which allowed a dual-motor Model S P85D go from 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds. Pushing the envelope even further, Tesla last year introduced a Ludicrous Mode which let a top of the line Model S go from 0 to 60 in just 2.8 seconds. Hell, even Tesla's crossover SUV - the Model X - is no slouch in the speed department as it can go from 0 to 60 in …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6c1ffd7c02c884c2a3fd9829c6fd2ce3.jpg We don't want to sound like an infomercial, but it's the truth: one simple purchase really can save you hundreds of dollars. The value of the uncooked and uneaten food you throw away each week adds up quicker than you might imagine. In fact, we've seen some estimates that suggest 10% or even more of the money spent on groceries in some households ultimately goes to waste. Instead of basically pulling cash out of your wallet and throwing it in the garbage, check out the Hamilton Beach 78213 NutriFresh Vacuum Sealer with 12 Bag Starter Set, which is under $70 with free express shipping on A…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/8373f872da40313b4138c9e8ccdb2726.jpgEarth may only be a tiny blip on the map relative to the entire universe, but for our purposes, it's pretty darn big. Of course, the vast majority of earth - about 70% - is comprised of water. Taking that into account, the actual area of land on earth is estimated to be around 150 million square kilometers. That being the case, Life Noggin recently set out to examine how many human beings the earth is capable of holding; not in a physical sense, but more in the sense of how many people can be sustained by the Earth's finite resources. Today, the earth's population checks in at about 7 billion,…

And we all know that crystal clear cases are the way to go since they protect your iPhone without hiding that gorgeous design that Apple worked so hard on.

HTC’s VP of Product Management, Mo Versi, tweeted about the delay on his Twitter page. He noted that there’s a slight delay in obtaining approval for Google’s latest Marshmallow OS. He also noted that they’re still in the lab, but plan to start rolling out the update to HTC One M8 and One M9 owners on AT&T in the next couple of weeks.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/96bdcb6c203bb3babf873255208c155e.jpg When the phone was announced, Verizon slyly mentioned that the HTC 10 would be a timed exclusive for its customers. Select carriers, including T-Mobile and Sprint, simply said the phone was on the way while Big Red proclaimed it would “be available in the U.S. first on Verizon.” And that has turned out to be true. The HTC 10 went up for pre-order on Verizon’s site earlier today, making it the only carrier to be offering the 2016 flagship in any way. Customers can get pre-order the phone right now for a special price of $22.83 per month for twenty-four months with $0 down. That price…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/fc4d82e6cdfdcad0962a33551757d284.jpgApple last quarter experienced its first year-over-year drop in revenue since 2003. Not only that, but Apple saw a sales decline across all major product lines: iPhone sales were down 18%, iPad sales were down 19% and Mac sales were down 9%. With most analysts preoccupied with iPhone and iPad sales, it appears that the Mac continues to be overlooked. Which is strange given that the Mac these days is actually more profitable than the iPad. During Apple's most recent quarter, for example, the iPad generated $4.4 billion in revenue compared to the Mac which brought in $5.1 billion in revenue. …
